“The money raised will go toward our winter coats for children campaign, specifically children from Benton Hall Academy in Little Falls,” said Herkimer County Hunger Coalition founder Ray Lenarcic. “Our goal is to provide coats by Halloween for all children who are part of the Gram Lorraine Children’s Christmas Clothing Program — over 1,000 were collected in eight schools in 2012.”

Donations are being accepted from the public for the project.

Those who wish to make a donation can send them to the Herkimer County Hunger Coalition at P.O. Box 622, Herkimer, NY 13350. Donations are tax deductible.
